I think that a move to either VIC or SA would be the best one for Hauritz. SA could always play two spinners, given they play most of their games on the Adelaide oval. I also expect Lyon to be playing for Australia a lot more. The extra batting that Hauritz would bring would help SA a lot as well.

Given how much time Vic has put in Holland I don't see them discarding him after actually putting in a couple of good performances finally. So yeah I guess SA is the only other option. Or not taking a contract, and becoming a T20 pro. But really, the more I think about it he might hang around in NSW, and back SOK to lose the C. And maybe go play for the team that loses their spinner who will be in India at the backend of the season (which could be QLD if Boyce has a decent season up 'til that point)

SA will probably sign Krejza or something stupid anyway

In all seriousness I don't know much about Gale, except that he's quite a decent bowler.

I think it was to do with his wife or something. Vic_oxthdox has talked about it a bit so he'll inform us. I think.

I'd be surprised. Moved up there for family reasons in the first place; something to do with his missus, and his own parents are in QLD now too. He got a job and everything up there, and just happened that his cricket took off. Was a really promising player who got cut down by injuries a lot in Victoria.

They've got a serious list, QLD, if they can add another top order batsman or too. They have huge wraps on Buchanan, the kid is bloody enormous and just pounds the bat without putting any effort in. Barsby's kid is class as well.

So Hill, Finch, maybe Handscomb are all on the sidelines and you'd think other teams would want all of them

They'll (QLD) back Hartley in at 7, or even give the kid a go down the order, don't think they'd be all that fussed.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the heat put on Rogers, they have to start fitting in Handscomb. Don't know what the story will be with Hill, been injured for most of the year, but has got a few 2nd XI runs towards the end of the season. They've invested so much into him though.

they'd better groom hill into a future test star, i met him and adam crosthwaite when i helped out with one of those milo clinics, hill was a decent guy, actually had something to say, crosthwaite was a quiet ****

You've picked too many wicket keepers in that list. Might be short on bowling imo.

nufan already said it dumbarse

yeah i can see heat being put on rogers (sadly) but I would have thought to get Hill in there? Handscomb isn't an opener (although most openers weren't openers....)

I can't blame Hughes or Khawaja for wanting to move up north to the Shield champions. Darren Lehmann has got to be a perfect coach especially for left handed batsman. Seriously you would have to think he's better than a certain LH opening bat who's 'helping' Australia.
